More about the book

Focusing on mental health, this epistolary novel explores the emotional turmoil of its protagonist, Werther, as he grapples with unrequited love and deep despair. Set against the backdrop of the Sturm und Drang movement, it delves into themes of depression and existential struggle, reflecting the complexities of human emotion. Its profound impact on literature led to bans in several countries due to concerns about its influence on vulnerable readers. Goethe's work is a poignant examination of the darker aspects of the human psyche.
